Like most Encore parks, this is an RV resort, NOT a campground. Many parks in Florida are designed for the multitude of snowbirds that come down from the cold, frigid north. They don't have very many spaces for transient customers, but that's really to be expected in this part of the country in the winter! We needed a night to fill in our stay at a nearby state park because we couldn't plan far enough in advance. This worked, but just barely. Because of our size, it was a challenge to get into our space. Fortunately for us the site was wide, because the roads in the park are narrow. Not much room to back up a 45' fifth wheel, but we managed. Restrooms were clean, and the park was very tidy. We wouldn't choose to come here again, but because we had an activity planned and needed to stay in the area we were glad it was available for the one day we needed it. - Denise and Glenn

I made reservations for this campground through my Thousand Trails membership, which I shall not renew because this is the kind of campground they feature: closely packed spaces, difficult to navigate, poor site maintenance, but lots of "resort" activities. Nonetheless, snow-birds and retirees seem to love it. They flock down by the thousands to nest in such places for the month or the season or the year. Not me! Ain't my type of place! I visited Florida as a kind of "bucket list" item. Now it's over, and I won't go back. - Jim Fulton

If you're looking for a campground, you'll be disappointed. If you're looking for a convenient location to see the Tampa sites, it's great. The park is clean, restrooms older but well kept. Sites are small and interior roads are very narrow. The employees are very nice and there's usually an activity almost every day. About 75% of the sites are annuals, but they're generally show models and the majority are well kept. - dseipel2

This park has much improved since new management. They have done a big cleanup and are fixing up the big potholes. Wi-fi available now in a small mini park area for seating & BBQ. - seashells

This park is not very well maintained. The grass is more dirt and sand than grass. No effort put into trying to make the park look nice. Everything falling apart. Very few activities as they rely on residents to organize and run everything. Wilder resorts seem to be really going downhill. I heard that they refuse to spend any money to up keep the parks and even try to get the residents to add money above their rates if they want to get something done. Apparently the usual request is 50/50. Residents raise 50% and they will maybe add the difference to keep buildings maintained. It's very apparent at this park. Nothing is being maintained and the general feeling is that the park just wants to collect their money and not spend for the upkeep. I definitely could not recommend this park. - love to travel64

I have stayed here whenever I was in the New Port Richey area for the past 10 or so years. No more. I spent a week there recently and the staff was utterly incapable of finding me a single site that worked properly. The first had no electric. ("The power company swapped the meters out recently and if the slot was unoccupied they left the power off. It'll take then 24 hours to turn it back on." Do these people understand the concept of travel?) The second had no utilities at all within reach. We commandeered a third, which had working water, power, and a sewer connector that someone had tried to "repair" with duct tape. On one side of the meter box, the spigots were installed so close that you could use the spigot or the outlet, but not both. In the pool bathroom, a disassembled toilet had leaked unsanitary water under all the stalls, making them all unusable. Their website claims that WiFi is available, but it isn't. There is a minuscule hotspot near the entrance that serves maybe a dozen of the permanent residents and reaches none of the transient spots. On the good side, the pool was open all night, though technically "closed." One of the residents quipped that this was one of several bones thrown to the residents to keep them from complaining about the other things that weren't working. This park has severely degenerated in the past three years. In fact, I see they are no longer even listed in the Trailer Life directory. I have made my last visit there. - Bowman

This is my second time at Suncoast RV park, first time was in April 2017. Without doubt Suncoast is one of the best RV parks I've been to in my journey throughout the U.S. It has the woods, clean facilities, full hookup, a beautiful heated pool, and its visitors are some of the most friendly I've met. There are lots of nice campsites across the U.S. but they don't have the warmth and happiness that radiate from the hosts. Lots of places can supply the hookups and facilities needed for a RV, but we all know its the people who run the place and the other visitors who can turn an ordinary visit into a truly great time. The hosts welcome everyone as close family, and go out of their way to ensure all are happy. The trees make it a little tricky for Big rigs, but I didn't have a problem in my 40ft pulling a Honda CRV behind. Parks without trees are just parking lots with RV's in them, not a place I like. This RV park is my park of choice on the west coast of Florida. Thank you for making my stay the best I've ever had! - Seaquest7

This is our second time here and it was just as pleasurable as the first. Nice and convenient pool, library, washers, and rec room. Great location with everything just outside entrance but don't hear traffic or noise. Site was just Long enough for RV and tow. Red ant hills all over with tree roots all over. Be careful walking. Used a whole can of outdoor spray to kill ants. Very relaxing. Highly recommend. - S Dowdy

This is a great little park! Friendly staff and guests. It is very tight for big rigs. Although I was able to get around in my 42' class A ,with toad unhooked, with help of the staff guiding. Beautiful big trees. Quiet and relaxing. - Finn

We "wintered" here the past two years. Very reasonably priced for this part of Florida. The cost represent the monthly winter rate. The Pro's.... Lots of shopping in the area,any major store you can think of is nearby. Several nearby golf courses with great rates. The park is old and dominated by older Park Models that are very well maintained. About 600 spaces and about 3/4ths are Park Models. 3 or 4 catch & release fishing lakes inside the park. Very friendly people both staff & residence. Volunteers run most,if not all, the activities in the park and do a very good job of it.Washer & Dryer $1.50 per cycle
The Con's....On a very busy US 19 Highway,very fast traffic most of the day.
Lots of "homeless" people at most intersections,but not a problem in the park. Although they claim to be close to the beach, you have to travel quite a distance to find a "quality beach" Not much access to the fishing lake as Park Models surround them. No clothes line policy but apparently Park Model residence are on different set rules. Water was shut off 2-3 times during our stay and I "suspect" because of old "infrastructure"issues.
We will not return next year as the park seems "tired"as is the Flea Market next door,which is owned by the Park. - cecerecreek

First of all the residents are amazing. Without the volunteers this park would have virtually nothing to offer. There are 2 shower builders, 1 only has 2 shower heads out of 4 showers. The Wilder company doesn't spend any money on upkeep but rely on volunteers to make money through 50/50 draws and fundraising to upkeep the park such as the pool hall renovation. There is no landscaping other than what the residents do themselves. The activities are great but again they are all paid for and run by the residents. It's sad to see greedy Wilder take advantage of such nice people. - love to travel64

Clean bathrooms & fair shower facilities; good pool. The WiFi is only available in the Rec Hall. Poor antenna TV reception. This park is mostly for full-time residents, with the largest majority Canadians (only met 1 person who was not from Canada). - luminary110

We stayed here two nights while visiting a friend in the area. We arrived after 3 PM when the office closed but had been told to call when we got there. Someone came and directed us to our site. The site was gravel with a concrete patio. The hookups were all conveniently placed at the back. The 50 amp electric worked well and the water was good. The free WIFI was very good, better than many other places we have stayed. We were surprised that we were unable to get any OTA channels at our site but that may have been because of the large tree behind our site. There is no cable at the sites but there is a recreation room with a large flat screen TV with cable channels. The rec. room also has a pool table, kitchen area, and tables where people gather for donuts on Wednesday mornings. This park has both long-term residents and snowbirds. The people were very friendly. For being right off I-19 we were pleased with how quiet this park was at night. - MkvCjv

We camped here for a few days then decided to leave because no cable unless you put in yourself and WiFi was useless--could never get a connection. Was not happy with bathrooms or laundry room area. Clubhouse very small. Manager seemed OK. Tried to be helpful with what he had to work with. Sites are small. Won't go back there too much like a mobile home park. Intend on letting my friends know,too. - very sad

We stayed here for three weeks this winter. Very nice, clean resort. The transients are mixed in with permanent units. This makes meeting your neighbors very easy. Most permanents are owned by snowbirds there for 5-6 months at a time. We found that they were a great source for local information. The pool was nice, but only opened until about 4-5 pm. Since we explored during the day, we normally were back too late to enjoy the pool. Overall a very nice park. - Wally1821

Ja-Mar is primarily a snowbird residential park, where most of the sites are occupied for weeks or months at a time. They do have room for some short-term stays, though. All the sites are paved and back-in; they are close together. The atmosphere is very friendly. The park has a nice pool, a lending library, shuffleboard and bocce courts and a big common room for dinners, exercise classes and movies. WiFi is only available at the library area; cable TV has to be installed for each site, so it's impractical for transients. Verizon cell coverage is excellent, though. The park is located on Highway 19, a busy 6-lane road with one long string of RV parks, strip malls, car dealerships, etc. The nearest grocery is an Aldi's, a mile away. - RI Ramblers

This is a very large park with a lot of long term residents. The staff were adequate but somewhat impersonal and residents seemed to know each other but not outsiders. The ground around sites was sandy and tracked in because it was raining. Facilities were fine and they had a great music jam on Thursday nights as well as other activities. - Carlsons

Sites are EXTREMELY tight. We couldn't get our 40 ft. MH and tow vehicle on one site. After parking and setting up, the neighbor in the permanent site next to us asked if we would move our rig because our slide was hanging over his grass. Seriously? Rude. Only 2 bath houses for the entire park and each has one toilet and one shower. If you had to use the toilet and someone was taking a shower you had to wait. Sites are all asphalt, no space to even sit outside. So close to the neighbor you can hear them snore at night. Lots of Canadians that don't even speak English. Will never go there again. Don't go here, spend your money else where. - TJF321

Signage was poor to find the actual park off of a busy highway (US 19). Sites were tight and the interior roads were narrow. You need to be a good driver/parker to get in. The park has mostly park models/long term residents, all sites were very neat, tidy and well kept. Very attractive entrance to the park. WiFi NOT available on your site, but you could get it at the clubhouse. WiFi was shut off both Sundays we were here. Mentioned it to staff before the second Sunday but nothing changed?? Laundry room could have been cleaner, but the gas dryers were amazing. Our rate reflects the weekly rate, received Good Sam for both weeks. - mdjr

Nice well kept park. sites are close together, a staff guides you into your site which is helpful. Site was clean, level. Services were easy to access; electrical is on the opposite side so you need a good length of cord. Everyone very friendly, nice to stroll or ride around. - Our-Wandering-Casa

This park was very strange. Pulled in for one night, but only stayed during daylight hours. Although we had a large dog (usually not allowed), she is very quite and well behaved. Many barking dogs all day long with strange people wandering around. Also sites were dirty and not maintained. Also spotted some homeless people outside entrance of park during the day and then sleeping there that evening. Didn't feel safe and left at dark to find another place. It may have many nice people in park, but we were at the front entrance of park and didn't feel comfortable or safe enough to stay. - Webbs from NY

Had to find a local RV Park in short notice (Saturday) because we returned home from a road trip and our home AC was out. Called no less than 8 parks in the area. Gulf Breeze RV Park was the only facility that a human being answered the phone. All others had unhelpful answering services or recorded messages that could not make reservations. We were pleased to talk to someone by phone who accommodated our needs right away! What a pleasure to hear a friendly human voice that genuinely cared about us and about business for her Park. The facility is neat, well kept and easy to navigate with a 40ft rig. We're were treated like family! Permanent residents were friendly & helpful! It was a lovely 2-day stay. We are in the customer service business. This park has a clear advantage on any others around...the owner cares about her customers whether just transient guests or long term residents and answers the phone. Thanks for your hospitality!!! - TMT2

Older park but well kept. We are staying for 4 months. Heated swimming pool. We're in a 36' motorhome some areas would be too tight for 40' or larger. About 2/3 sites are park models. Staff and everyone we've meet friendly. Entryway a little steep and scraped our tow dolly pulling in. - Hob
